Welsh UKIP candidate fails spelling test

A candidate for the United Kingdom Independence Party in Welsh elections misspelled the name of his own constituency on a leaflet sent to voters, prompting accusations that the Euroskeptic party is not taking the contest seriously.

Stephen Clee is standing for UKIP in elections to the Welsh Assembly on May 5 in the Rhondda region in South Wales, but according to his election leaflet he hopes to represent "Rhonnda," according to a report in Wales Online on Wednesday.
